This was TERRIBLE :( I used crackling nail polish, white and pink, and then put this ontop. Great shine. But about a couple hours later it formed cracks on my nails, and,then morning time the next...

It's sad that the majority of the reviews reflect my own personal opinion, but it is quite evident to me that not all top coats are created equally! I had no idea that top coats made such a...

I'm such a top coat junkie. Since I don't care for the famous SV, I'm always on the hunt for something. Boy, this top coat is really terrible. The Pros: 1. provides a shiny finish 2. dries fast....

Awful. Just awful. It does what it says, it’s really shiny and goes on clear as a top coat. However, it’s a mess to apply- very sticky and goopy and blobby. This of course messes with with your...

This dries really quick and makes my polish super shiny, BUT I notice the next day there is hairline cracks all over my fingernails. And then it just makes my polish chip even faster. Ugh. Back to...

I had high hopes for this, but it failed. I put it on one nail in the store, and walked around a bit. It dried really fast and shiny! But don't be fooled. I bought it and put it on over all new...

Honestly, this really is a HORRIBLE topcoat. The price makes it look appealing, but it does nothing that a topcoat should do. It really starts peeling and chipping within a matter of minutes. It's...

DISAPPOINTMENT. This is the thickest, gloopiest mess. It does show up really shiny and pretty for maybe a day but then, it looks like a regular, ordinary top coat. Spreading it on my nails, I was...

This product is cheap, but actually works decently well. I mean, it isn't the best top coat ever, but it certainly isn't the worst. I usually always have this on hand incase I run out of my other...

I'm about halfway through the bottle and I've put up with it. It is very thick and takes a good amount of time to dry but it does show up very shiny. However, it gets dulled very easily...

Isn't it ironic how something that is old and has been sitting in my box of nail polishes for years and years turns out to be better than it's successor? I bought the NYC 271A Shiny Top Coat...

This top coat is awful! I put it on top of one of my OPI polishes (which normally are long lasting) and my mani was chipped the same day! Upon closer inspection, I figured out there were lines in...

Horrible, horrible top coat. I regret buying this just because I had not read anything about it before buying. It makes my polish chip really fast...I mean, within an hour. Luckily I bought it when...
